Thou shall also be a crown of Glory in the hand of theLord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: But thou shall be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.For as a young man marrieth a virgin,so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.Isaiah 62: 3-5Have your own way Lord, Have your own way. You are the Potter I am the clay. Mold me and make me after your will While I am waiting, yielded and still.

Book Description
An unforgettable look at an obscure part of the deep south just before the dawning of the Civil Rights movement and the turbulent 1960s would forever change it forever. A unique blend of humor, pathos, and bitter reality throws a harsh and revealing light on this this strange time and the people who were a part of it. Examine a place where the past is never past, and history hangs over the hot dirt roads and swamps like a morning mist. Examine a now forgotten world where men could die over a load of wet cotton, a cock fight, a fence line, a missing hog, or a romantic promise not kept. A place where the past lies like a rattlesnake under a bush waiting to strike. A world where little boys had hookworms and old black men sold Bolita. A world where a dream book could tell the future and a root doctor could cure an illness or fix a romance gone bad. It is a strange and mysterious world, full of fear and superstitions, strange people and strange customs. It is a world where black magic and old time religion go hand in hand. A world of tobacco fields and outhouses, pulpwood and moonshine stills, juke joints and whore houses. In the fall of 1959, a small group of frightened young high school boys gather in the late afternoon twilight to become a part of their local chapter of the Future Farmers of America. However, this was to be much more than a simple initiation. This was to become more than just one more school function. This night would change all their lives as they have to decide what price was too much to pay for being one of The Ag Boys.

Book Description
To most people, one's mother is the first person they ever form a lifelong bond with. She is the source of life and nourishment, love and compassion, and the person who provides the foundation for an individual's worldview and core values. Author and veteran sociologist Velma Benson-Wilson pays tribute to her mother, a remarkable woman born Fannie Bradley, through a book titled, What's In The Water? Imagine a mother of seventeen living children, all single births and the majority born during the tumultuous times of the 1950s and 60s in rural Mississippi. How did she balance and cope with their spiritual, educational, financial and overall upbringing to insure that all became productive members of this society? Fannie Bradley had tenacious faith, resilience, and perseverance in overcoming adversities and pain that would have made most an indignant human being. Fannie's mother was mentally retarded; she had no stable father figure or family, and an elementary education. Although she only lived to be 57 years of age, Fannie's legacy of love and parental principles are indelible in each of her living seventeen offspring. Book Event: I have a book signing scheduled for Saturday, February 11, 2012 form 11:00 a.m. to 12 noon at Jackson Madison County Library, Jackson, Tennessee.

Book Description
"Focusing primarily, though not exclusively, on the southeastern United States, the book examines works ranging from James Hampton's well-known Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly (now part of the Smithsonian collection), to several elaborately decorated yards and gardens, to smaller-scale acts of commemoration, protection, and witness. The authors show how the artful arrangement and adornment of everyday objects and plants express both the makers' own experiences and concerns and a number of rich and sustaining cultural traditions. They identify a "lexicon" of material signs that are frequently and consistently used in African American culture and art and then show how such elements have been used in various individual works and what they mean to the practitioners themselves."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Domestic Violence is one problem; however, it is handled and resolved in many different ways by its many different victims in a manner such that those victims may become survivors. How one victim overcomes may be totally different from how the next victim becomes a survivor. I know this to be true because of my story and my survival of Domestic Violence. This is my story, and this is how it happened for me and as I stated before, it will not be the same for everyone. Each journey is separate and has different routes and measures. I wrote this book to inform others of the cycle of Domestic Violence, and to bring about awareness to those who may be oblivious of this dark place and may have somehow unfortunately found themselves in it. It is extremely regrettable that so many individuals and families experience this tragedy and accept it as normal because they have not properly identified it as Domestic Violence. This book may also inspire others who may have a deep desire to advocate for victims who are living the nightmare of Domestic Violence. My hope is that this book will be a beacon to individuals who may be experiencing situations that are uncomfortable, dangerous, or violent to them or to their children and that they will quickly identify this problem and get assistance in getting out and getting out safely with their lives intact because sadly there are so many who don’t. If you or someone you know are experiencing Domestic Violence, please get help by calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at: (800) 779-7233 or TTY (800) 787-3224.
